The Immortal's Wine Store

Chapter 299 - Jimen Kanding’s Fury

Hu Xiandao found it hard to believe that Hestia who was known for her gentle bearing and graceful aura was actually able to emit such overbearing killing intent! He thought that only Theia was fearsome between the two, but it seems like he was wrong.

"Elder Hestia, I’ve brought our people here and everyone is just waiting for you to take command. The young disciples in particular are already itching for battle. What are your orders, Elder Hestia?" Hu Xiandao asked the woman in front of him. Initially, he planned to command the whole group, but after sensing a part of Hestia’s strength, he changed his plans.

’It won’t be too bad if Elder Hestia will take command. With her strength, our chances of eradicating the Crimson Sun Sect will increase.’ Hu Xiandao thought to himself.

The reason for Hestia’s killing intent was not just because of Sylphie’s past but also because the Crimson Sun Sect was one of the powers that wanted to steal her master’s spiritual plants when he was still an unknown person. She remembered everyone present at that time and she was certain that the Crimson Sun Sect was one of them.

’Crimson Sun Sect, to think that you guys would come and knock our doors again. Since you want to play with fire, then don’t blame me for burning you all!’ Hestia was still smiling, but deep inside her heart, she was bursting with rage.

"Elder Hu, tell everyone that I will come shortly. I will just prepare everything before we set off." Hestia said with a warm smile.

Hu Xiandao’s back was already covered in sweat. He heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing Hestia’s words. He no longer wants to remain alone with this woman. She is just as dangerous as Elder Theia!

"I’ll inform them immediately, Elder Hestia." Hu Xiandao said before he left.

Hestia glanced at him for a moment before she stood up from her seat. She then went to the kitchen and delegated tasks to the kitchen staff and waitresses. She only left the wine store after making sure that nothing would go wrong in her absence.

The moment she stepped out of the store, the disciples glanced at her with curiosity. Some of them were also awestruck by the woman’s beauty and charm.

"Everyone, this is Elder Hestia. She will be taking command in this operation, so make sure that you will treat her with respect." Hu Xiandao the woman to the new disciples.

"So she is Elder Hestia? She’s so beautiful!"

"I wonder what relationship she has with the sect master."

"If Elder Hestia could only glance this way, then coming here is already worth it!"

The hot-blooded young men among the new disciples expressed their admiration towards Hestia, but she merely smiled when she saw this. She was already used to men’s admiration that she was no longer surprised about it.

"Everyone, some of you might not know of this since not everyone here is a native of the Silver Wing Empire. A few months ago, when Sect Master Jiu Shen has yet to set up the Heavenly Sword Tower, several sects banded together to try to steal the spiritual plants inside his wine store. Luckily, he was strong enough to prevent them from achieving their goal. As for the Crimson Sun Sect, they are one of those sects. Now, they even came to capture one of our new disciples." Hestia’s voice was calm and unhurried, but disciples could not help but feel a chill gripping their hearts. They didn’t know why they suddenly have this sort of feeling, so they were slightly confused. However, a few of the stronger disciples discovered that this sense of threat actually came from this seemingly harmless Elder Hestia!

"Everyone set off!" Hestia ordered with a calm face.

"Elder Hestia, this is the location of the Crimson Sun Sect. Do you want us to go there discreetly or..." Hu Xiandao handed a small parchment to Hestia and pointed at a circled location.

"We don’t have to be discreet. From what I can remember, their sect master is only a mid stage 9th-rank Saint. Even if he suddenly had a breakthrough during the past few months, he still could not do anything to us, but just to make sure that nothing goes wrong, ask one elder to scout the Crimson Sun Sect’s sect grounds. We must not let anything happen to these new disciples." Hestia chuckled after sensing Hu Xiandao’s worry.

The barbarian nodded his head and answered. "I’ll get it done right away."

Hestia then shifted her gaze to the disciples who were chatting excitedly. With one glance, only a few of them had caught her eyes.

"It looks like some of these disciples are still green. Now, I understand why they sent these disciples in this task. So you want me to show them the brutality of the cultivation world, huh?" She muttered silently to herself.

After realizing that she was bringing a bunch of newbies, Hestia lost interest in them. Perhaps the only one with experience among this group of new disciples was Prince Dante’s group.

"Look! Elder Hestia is looking at me! Her smile is so beautiful!"

"Fool! Elder Hestia is definitely looking at me!"

The other disciples glanced at the two in disdain, while some of them merely laughed.

"Sect Master, the young master’s life jade was destroyed!"

"What!? Go bring me to the Jade Hall! Quick!" This man was Jimen Kanding, the sect master of the Crimson Sun Sect and the father of Jimen Kang.

Sect Master Jimen hastily went to the Jade Hall together with a few elders. They were sweating buckets upon hearing the report and they silently hoped that their subordinate had just made a mistake. However, when they saw the shattered life jade of Jimen Kang, all of them revealed an expression of despair.

"How could this be?! How could this be?! Who killed my son?! Arghhhh!!" Jimen Kanding emitted a desolate cry that shook the sect grounds of the Crimson Sun Sect. Now, everyone was wondering what had happened that warranted such intense reaction from their sect master.
